It occupies a nearly thirteen-acre farm now called the C. G. Hill Memorial Park, owned by Forsyth County and the City of Winston-Salem.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is among the earliest, finest and most pristine brick homes in rural Forsyth County, with notable brick detailing, a cyma recta molded brick cornice and an interior whose original paint treatment is untouched. It is presented as one of the best-preserved Moravian dwellings outside Salem and Bethabara, illustrating Pennsylvania-influenced Moravian domestic design and rural life in the Wachovia tract.","narrative":"Built in 1829-1830 near Bethania in Forsyth County, North Carolina, this two-story common bond brick house was made by John Jacob Schaub, a Moravian brickmason and tailor who had also made about 25,000 bricks for sale. Its single-pile plan has two rooms on each floor, exterior end chimneys with decorative caps, six-over-six sash and a molded brick cornice on the east and west elevations. The interior keeps its original plaster, molded chairrail, fireplace friezes and a paint scheme of blue-feathered wainscot and lunetted panels. The house is valued for its early, well-preserved Moravian craftsmanship and its survival among rural brick dwellings in the county. Its setting on a farm that was never developed for recreation keeps a sense of how the property looked in the early nineteenth century. The house was occupied by the Schaub family and later by Moravian descendants, and its 1951 stabilization by Charles G. Hill helped save it from decay.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"John Jacob Schaub, brickmason","architectural_style":"Federal architecture; vernacular Georgian/Federal style","criteria":["A","C","D"],"status_note":"The house stands empty at present, according to the form.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.028133-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/30/7202/47720230/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/82001296.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720230","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jacob_Schaub_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q21187968"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/forsyth-county/schaub-john-jacob-house-82001296/"}
